Creator Rules

Chi'llywood creators can build Channels, upload media, publish posts, use comments and links, participate in Watch-Party and Live Stage, and later use sponsored or paid content where enabled. These rules explain what creators are responsible for.

1. Creator Ownership And Responsibility

Creators own the content they upload if they owned it before upload. Chi'llywood does not take ownership of creator content.

Creators are responsible for having all rights and permissions needed for everything they upload, stream, post, comment, link, attach, sponsor, or sell through Chi'llywood.

Do not upload stolen videos, movies, shows, clips, music, performances, livestreams, images, files, logos, brand assets, or other media you do not own or have permission to use.

Creators must have permission for people who appear in content where consent, release, publicity, privacy, union, venue, event, music, performance, or location rights are required.

2. Channel Behavior

Do not:

• impersonate another creator, brand, organization, public figure, official account, moderator, or Chi'llywood operator;
• claim false official status, false endorsements, false partnerships, or false affiliation;
• mislead viewers with deceptive channel names, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, categories, or links;
• artificially inflate views, followers, comments, likes, watch time, engagement, sponsor metrics, or payout eligibility;
• spam uploads, duplicate content, deceptive tags, bait titles, or redirect users off platform for scams.

3. Upload Rules

Uploaded content must be legal, rights-safe, and policy-safe.

Do not upload:

• malware, harmful files, phishing pages, credential theft tools, or deceptive links;
• illegal goods, illegal services, or instructions for serious illegal harm;
• dangerous instructions designed to cause injury, evade law enforcement, commit fraud, or compromise systems;
• banned content listed in the Banned Content Policy;
• content whose main purpose is to redirect users to scams, unsafe purchases, fake giveaways, fake investment offers, or off-platform abuse.

4. Live Rules

Do not use Live Stage, Watch-Party, HLS, or room features for illegal streams, stolen broadcasts, unauthorized sports/event feeds, pirated movies, pirated shows, unauthorized clips, harassment, threats, hate, doxxing, nudity/sexual content against policy, violence incitement, dangerous activity, or fraud.

Live rooms may be stopped, restricted, reviewed, or disabled for safety, copyright, capacity, Premium gating, fraud, technical stability, or legal reasons.

5. Monetization Rules

Creator payouts, tips, paid content, revenue share, sponsorship payments, and cash-out are not active unless Chi'llywood explicitly enables them in a proved release.

Eligibility may depend on:

• account good standing;
• identity/KYC and tax readiness;
• payment-provider approval;
• supported country/region;
• minimum payout threshold;
• rights clearance;
• fraud review;
• copyright status;
• sponsor disclosure;
• platform rules and payment-provider requirements.

Content that violates rules may be demonetized, disqualified, hidden, removed, placed on hold, or excluded from future payout eligibility.

6. Sponsor Rules

Creators must clearly disclose paid promotions, sponsorships, gifted products, affiliate links, discounts, commissions, paid reviews, or other material connections.

Disclosure must be hard to miss and near the endorsement. Do not bury the disclosure in a profile bio, unrelated link page, or vague hashtag.

Deceptive sponsorships, unsafe product promotion, fake reviews, undisclosed affiliate links, or regulated-product violations may lead to removal, demonetization, sponsor restrictions, payout holds, suspension, or termination.

7. Enforcement

Chi'llywood may take one or more actions:

• warning;
• content removal, hiding, disabling, labeling, or age-gating;
• upload limits;
• live restrictions;
• comment, chat, or room restrictions;
• monetization hold;
• payout delay, reversal, withholding, or forfeiture where allowed by law and payment-provider rules;
• sponsor restriction;
• account suspension or termination;
• repeat infringer termination.

Severe violations may lead to immediate action without a warning.
